2025 Player Outlook
Robert missed a good chunk of time with a hip flexor strain early in the year, and he played in just 100 games. Believe it or not, it's only the second time in his career he reached triple digits for games played. Robert has some of the best tools in the game, and his 2023 season was phenomenal from a fantasy perspective. I believe his batting average rebounds a bit in 2024, and if he can get to 400 plate appearances, he's going 20/20. However, his supporting cast stinks, so the counting stats will suffer, but at least a trip or two to the IL is already baked in his price.
